How ya doin'?

[RickZarber]

I don't get to talk to my online acquaintances much anymore. My PC won't get online, so I'm stuck using other people's computers whenever I can, which also means I can't Instant Message or join in the chats. So I'm a bit out of the loop right now.

So what I want to know is, how are you doing? What are you up to lately? Where are you in life right now?

Plus, I figure this is as good a way as any to get to know those members I don't know well yet. (I mean, really, who doesn't like to talk about themselves?) :p

I'll go ahead and start.

I'm busy working all the time trying to pay off my college debt so I can start thinking about paying for stuff like a car or a place to live. (Currently I'm living with my parents again and I have to rely on other people for transportation, which is frustrating in the extreem.) And mixed in with all of that, I have to decide when or if I'm ever going back to school. So my future is uncertain, but for the next year or two, my situation will probably be pretty stable; just working to the point where I can afford decisions.

In the meantime, I'm trying to focus my creative energies enough to get some progress done on any of my current projects. I've started two stories in the past year which haven't gotten past the first few chapters for each, and I still want to finish up the last 40 comics of JAQ. The biggest downside to working full time is that I never have the energy or free time for these things. Sprite comics alone take 6 or 7 hours each, and it's a pretty big deal now to commit that much time of one of my days off. I'd also really like to get back into filmmaking, but I have no idea how or when that could happen.

But yeah, I'd say my attitude towards life is cautiously optimistic right now.

Now it's youse guys' turn!
